Escape Room: Mystery Word Reviews

by I Love Pules

There are a few things about this game that make it less enjoyable. The hint button is more useful than the answer button, and to pass a level you basically just write a one-word punchline to a cheesy joke. Some of the jokes, like the one for level 6(I think), are slightly more mature, and younger players might not be able to answer. The graphics are low quality and not enjoyable to look at. Honestly Candy Crush would be a better way to spend your time than this. Would not suggest. There are also grammatical errors in the answers and hints that make it difficult to play the game or get the correct answer. EscapeRoom wouldn’t be too fun anyway, even without these issues. The adds are also questionable. I would suggest finding a better game to play.

I expected an actual escape room. I play these kinds of games frequently, and I usually enjoy them. However, when I started to play this game, I realized quickly that it’s a set of simple riddles with a one-word password to unlock the door. In order to play this game, you need to have a basic sense of intuition and you need to know how to read. Content is not unique and I don’t know why EscapeRoom deserves a rating of 4.9. Exactly the opposite of the description: “the most innovative ever escape game with puzzle experience, you must not miss it!”. On most apps I write reviews for, I am able to give constructive feedback. For this one, start over entirely and create an actual innovative and challenging set of escape room levels.

P.S. I don’t appreciate puns about bras in some of the levels.

This is horrible. Let me start with the beginning. So it starts off pretty good and interesting. You have hints for each level to help you figure out the word to get out. But this starts to get ridiculous. Like the one with for M’s on four cards. How the heck are we supposed to know that means the word mall ? Also this game in the ad I saw had like jigsaw and you unlocking yourself with other ppl. But idk if I just didn’t pass this yet but that’s been yet to be found. This is boring like oh just figure out the word. I feel like they just put that in the ad so we would keep playing until we found that part (which may or may not be there). But this boring, and it says in the ad only 5% can solve but some of them are ridiculously easy. Also some of these hints don’t help. I don’t like this game

So I had seen some ads where you literally had to escape a room and there were multiple puzzles to be done. I decided to go for it and get EscapeRoom . When I got it, I thought to myself, “Maybe on the next level?” No. Never on the next level. I spent five days trying to get to the levels that looked like the ad that I thought had maybe existed. Nope. Not only did my teacher get super mad at me because I didn’t do my homework but also, I stayed up late one day and was super tired the next day after playing the game so much. I would never recommend this game to anyone, even someone who bullied me. This is one of the worst apps I have ever found on EscapeRoom Store. Also, there are a lot of sexually explicit 🍆🍑🤢🙄 ads on EscapeRoom . So no, do not buy EscapeRoom even if your life depends on it.

The first levels were fun and great for just starting, but as you got farther into the game, they started to get frustrating. For example there was a level with a pic of a G with lights beaming out of it. I saw it and thought, “well, that looks like a sun with a G inside it! So maybe gsun?” We’ll that didn’t work or make sense, so of course it was wrong. The answer ended up being gray, as G ray as in rays of light. This is not the only puzzle that did that. I called it one thing and the game called it another. One more example of this is a riddle where there was a desk with broken legs and a globe on it. The question was, “what will happen in the next second?”. I thought, well if the globe falls it will brake, or crash, or fall. So I tried all of those and none worked. The answer was quake. As it will quake when it hits the ground. That caused me a lot of trouble as quake did not make sense to me. So I watched a ton of adds to find the answer as I did for many of the puzzles. Last and final problem, some of them aren’t even riddles. They are puns. Like the puzzle, what animal has the largest breasts? I used a hint for this and it said that the largest bra size is Z. So I though Z bra - Zebra. And that is not a riddle, that is a pun. If hints are helpful and answers are not super easy, but not not making sense I will consider re downloading.

*contains spoilers/answers for certain levels*
The game starts out really fun. The puzzles are tricky and entertaining. But after a certain point, the levels become boring, tedious, and frankly, annoying. The annoying part for me is the way hints are handled.
Each level, you get a little bit of information to point you in the right direction of the answer. For example, one level had four framed photographs of heads on the wall; the answer was “forehead.” Cool.
But there was one level where the information they gave you was five cards with the letter M printed on each card. I ended up buying a hint and that costs gold which you can buy with real money or get by watching an ad. The hint that they gave me (that costed gold) was “All of the cards say M.”
No, really?
The answer to that level ended up being Mall and I get that the clue was saying “them all->’m all->mall” but a lot of the time, the hints are not helpful.
Plus, some of the levels are ridiculously easy which I understand they probably use to balance out the challenge but that’s why people download EscapeRoom : it’s a puzzle game therefore it is going to be challenging. Heck, EscapeRoom Store display page says only 5% can beat this game. People expect a challenge.
In summary, the game started out fun but I’m getting annoyed more than enjoying myself when I play.

Downloaded this game after seeing an add. In said add you had to solve various puzzles per room, including opening safes to find a key to unlock the keypad to the door. I beat the entire game and you rarely click on anything more than one picture, book, or scrap of paper. Also, I solved quite a few of the puzzles without understanding how they had anything to do with the clues given. Another review mentioned inappropriate adds. I agree. My wife was very confused by what I was doing when she saw my screen while a random add played of a girl sexy dancing in basically underwear. Add was for a chat room type app. Why? All and all it’s a boring game. I beat it hopping that eventually the levels would become more engaging like advertised. After 240 level and three days it did not.

The game started fun but then got so stupid. I quit and uninstalled it once the answers started making no sense. You’re forced to watch videos to earn coins in order to guess the word. The hints are basically useless so you have to use the bomb and or the lightbulb help buttons. Again, making you watch videos to earn coins to use them. The explanations they give to explain the answer once you’ve “guessed” the answer correctly isn’t provided on all levels so you have know way of knowing how in the heck they came up with the answer. Plus, it’s not even offered on all levels. I think this game is only created to be deceiving to look fun but it’s all about getting you to watch the videos. Done with it and uninstalled it. Waste of time and worthless.

I think this could be fun but sometimes it's near impossible to understand what you are looking at without clicking on the hint (which is actually a fairly helpful function most of the time....except for the time it just told me what specific item the generic illustration was depicting). Also, the answer button isn't worth it at all. If 40 coins gets me an overall decently helpful clue for the whole word then 60 shouldn't tell me only one letter at a time since half the time I need it, I can already guess the first 3 letters, put those in, and only pay 60 coins for the game to tell me the letter I guessed was right. I'd rather get a "these letters are right and those aren't" function for 60 or so. I ended up deleting the game after I got to 50...

by Kittykidhelper

I love this game but if you don’t have enough money to get the hint and you hit the 60$ button on it it should pull up some words and would you want to watch a ad for 60$ y or n click yes and you get money click no you get back to the game see what I’m saying not to be rude but i think if you’re really young and you’re playing this your clueless and ill just say my friend Caitlin she would be helpless on here and a little kids should have a chance even i have some hard times and thats why I'm wrighting this thank if you read this and please make a update for lil kids please

Well the game starts out fun trying to figure out the puzzles and what word(s) they represent that you can type in the keypad but once you hit level 59 and up the puzzles are just like having to find the shortest word in some picture or find the differences in two pictures and the password has nothing to do with them. And all the hints tend to say is “combine the two words to make the password”. I’m on level 104 and there’s a cake on a desk and a picture of a bat on the wall. The word was Batten. Sure it has bag in the word but what does the word have to do with a bat and a cake. It’s just getting ridiculous how dumb these puzzles are. And the sucky thing is is you still want to play so you keep dealing with it. I wish they’d add better hints or would’ve stopped making puzzles or made better puzzles

So here is my review of the game. It’s not a bad game as some of the puzzles are cleaver however some of them are a tad bit of a stretch and almost impossible to solve under an normal realm. Now if you plan is to just go about guessing 4,5,6 and 7 letter words until you solve it then fine but if you are trying to come up with words that actually relate to the puzzle then good luck.
My biggest gripe is that when solving the puzzle even if you have the letter guessed right the clue still gives you the same letter and charges you a penalty rather than just give you the next letter, this is an easy fix and should be addressed rather quickly. All in all the game is fun (for the most part) but too difficult for the average person looking for some simple entertainment

I have really enjoyed this game up until level 102 which really made me mad because the only way to get past a puzzle is to figure it out. I spent all my money on bombs and hints until I had all the answers. Turns out the answer was what I though it was originally. Which was thirty. The problem was... I didn’t have a letter T. Therefore it was literally impossible to solve the puzzle. Refreshing EscapeRoom didn’t work so I guess the only way to fix it is to Deere EscapeRoom and redo the 102 puzzles. But I didn’t want to do that so I just deleted EscapeRoom . Wish that weren’t a problem so I could keep playing.

by MrGQ Esquire

This game is nothing like the developers described it to be. After level 10 or so, the levels become unimaginative and almost impossible to solve no matter how hard you think outside of the box. Often, the clues in the room as well as the ones the cost coins, have NO LOGICAL relation to the password. On top of that, they give you a big room to “escape” from and yet each room only has 1 or 2 clues that are almost ALWAYS in the same places.

It quickly becomes a game where all you need to do it just guess the password with the letters given, because searching for “clues” is pointless.

This game has so much potential but totally falls short.

While I love the game, I don’t understand why it won’t let me go past level 310. I can replay that level over and over, and build my $, but it never advances past it... It brings me to a screen with a door that says ‘coming soon’... with < at the top and lower right hand corners.. clicking on either on just brings you back to level 310..
No sense in playing the same game repeatedly no matter how much $ it gives you🤷‍♀️
I don’t see any way to update the game/app.. will I lose all my acquired $ by uninstalling and reinstalling??

by Bart:s

I like this game because it really gets your mind going and the game challenges you witch in my opinion I think that is really cool but I think you should give 2 hints that are free and 1 hint that costs money. And that is my opinion now you don’t have to do it but I think you should. But you can do whatever you would like to do. Anyway your escape room game is really fun and cool. Keep the good work on the game. And can you please let me know if you have any other games because I love your game. BYE-BYE!!!!!!!!

Picture is already huge when loaded and won’t shrink so I can type in the answer. Deleted game and re-downloading. Will write another review if that fixes it. Update: redownloaded and still doesn’t work.
I really want to explore the game more but this level no matter what I do (restart phone, delete app, update phone) still level won’t work. New Update: Still waiting for an update from developer to see if its fixed. Honestly very interested in playing the game more. Update they fixed it!!!!!

by FruitPopMomma

I really can’t comprehend why some people are claiming that it’s impossible to get some of these answers. 30 levels in, none of them are really difficult at all. They have a nice little brain teaser and make you think, but if this is really THAT challenging, maybe you just...aren’t exactly rocket scientist material, to put it kindly. This a fun game that actually makes you use your brain a bit. Sadly, people aren’t accustomed to having to do that anymore and leave bad reviews simply because they aren’t the the brightest crayons in the box.
Actually, reading theses reviews explains a lot about our political landscape...

I LOVE this game!!!!! I love murder mystery’s or crossword puzzles or any type of challenge so this was PERFECT for me!!!! If you like these kinds of games, this will be perfect for you too!! But If you have a small attention span or u are impatient, this might not be the game for you. It takes some serious brain power and patience. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out level ten but it was an “ah-hah” moment when I solved it. Definitely check this out. I highly recommend it!!! I’m addicted!!! 😂

I had a very good long time with this game. Hopefully more levels someday, but of course 300 was a lot, thanks author!
The various levels range from easy to very hard, and the reasoning/logic behind the puzzles is refreshingly varied, as if multiple very-different minds contributed. I often completely misidentified how I was to interpret graphic objects. While that unpredictability could be frustrating occasionally, ultimately I enjoyed the ride.
Well done, and worth your time.
